Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–March 22, 2012. The Center for American Progress today released “The Costly Business of Discrimination: The Economic Costs of Discrimination and the Financial Benefits of Gay and Transgender Equality in the Workplace,” showing that discrimination against gay and transgender employees hurts companies in the areas of recruitment, retention, job performance and productivity, marketing to consumers, and exposure to lawsuits. The cost of losing and replacing the more than 2 million American workers who leave their jobs each year due to unfairness and discrimination has been estimated to cost $64 billion.
